Ask your community members, maybe?

I lean towards "go for it! block away" but I come from a different internet culture than reddit so could never mod anywhere similar. You might get better advice from someone who's spent more time in these spaces.

To me, It seems like chronic downvotes from nonmembers could mess up your comm's discovery. And is mildly annoying. Not terrible, but I don't think they need to be evil to get a community block. If you do it too much, your community might stagnate and people might start a new one. Oh well! Good luck to the new guys, imo. You might end up on PTB and get harassed. Always a risk as a mod, unfortunately.

Put "frequent exclusive downvotes from non-members gets a block to increase likelihood of community discovery by people interested in this content" on your profile. I mean, if you talk with your community members and they agree it's an issue.

In March, she and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s three liberal justices in holding that Elon Musk’s nebulous cost-cutting initiative DOGE could not unilaterally freeze $2 billion in congressionally approved aid for work that had already been completed.

“She is evil, chosen solely because she checked identity politics boxes,” Cernovich wrote. “Another DEI hire. It always ends badly.”

Notably, Roberts was not accused of being a turncoat—just Coney Barrett.

Hmmmm wonder why. Man, she did her job and got roe v wade overturned, and they'll still outright call her "evil."

There's a limit to how carefully you can word things to protect its meaning from people determined to read it in bad faith. I have it too - the desire to be long winded to preemptively protect myself from misunderstanding. But there's a risk that we'll turn everything we say into long blocks of soft useless mush. There's no precision precise enough to be safe.

We have to, I think, decide to write for people willing to reach for us when we hold out a hand. There are enough willing to try that any general misunderstandings can be clarified with conversations other people can read if they want to understand. If enough of us are willing to do this for each other, it might be possible to build spaces where people who slap that outheld hand away don't have to dictate conversation. And maybe we can both be less wordy.

Thank you! The wall in my brain keeping me from doing it is a bit smaller now

That sounds pretty cool, actually, that it.s protected against me breaking it. I've always got that worry

Is this something that's relatively fool proof to do? I'm very good at imagining disasters. That's the big mental block I got when I thought about dual booting before.

Probably the first step is to do your best and wait to see if your feelings even out after a couple weeks. Distractions are key (videogames? binge watching shows?), since this isn't a long term thing. If you're sure you're past that period, I can think of a few general suggestions.

The first is to get a doctor who's willing to carefully test other meds with you. There's this day group at the hospital near me, and when a friend was struggling to find meds that worked, the group was useful because they had medication specialists. when the friend tried out ones that could have bad side effects, he was being watched very closely to make sure he was safe. But attentive, diligent healthcare would solve a lot of problems, wouldn't it? I get not everyone can have that. There might be a med out there that doesn't fuck you up in other ways, though.

Vigorous exercise helps some people. Art's a big one for others. Talk therapy, group therapy - being willing and able to experiment to find what works is a big one.

It's really tough to give specific advice, since the cause can be so personal. I know a trans guy who is way less angry on T. That's not useful universal advice, but it shows how your answer might be individual and need digging to find.

I'm somewhat open to the idea, but the thought of messing up and not having any computer other than my phone until i figure it out is tough to get over.

I can't afford a new computer right now and tariffs meaning higher prices means I can't anticipate affording one in the near future. My plan is to see where everything's at when they stop doing updates. Unfortunately.

Polish! I never really thought about why she did it. That's really neat! I'll have to ask dad if that's what inspired her to make them. We inherited them, and had a little stand, but she had a whole elaborate display I wish I could remember clearly.

We made pretty the eggs we would've boiled and eaten anyway. The week after easter we'd be all 'dad, you ate the one i wanted to eat!!' because we decorated it the prettiest so it was ours. It was incredibly rare the eggs didn't get eaten. We also had hollowed out eggshells my grandmother painted that we'd put in a place of honor every year.

Why are you being dismissive of what's actually being described, which is something happening over and over again? It's not one bad joke the original poster is crying over. It's the "over and over again."

You're saying you can look at the cause of the injury and say what the injury is without checking for symptoms or even listening to the entire cause of injury.

Even if you won't accept that social rejection and isolation over an entire childhood can cause trauma, can you at least give people with a social disability the smallest amount of leeway when describing their experiences and not react so dismissively in a mental health community?

Autistic people get fucked up well into adulthood by being rejected by their peers for reasons they can't comprehend over the course of many years.
